About
McNary Golf Club is located on the site that once was the homestead of Charles McNary (1874-1944), prominent Oregon Congressman, lawyer, and vice-presidential running mate of Wendell Willkie. Since he was an ardent golfer, it is appropriate that this course was named in his honor at its opening in 1962. The course was developed by Jim Sill who wanted to build an enjoyable course for the average golfer. Initially, the McNary home was used as the clubhouse. Today, modern clubhouse facilities, including the well known McNary Restaurant & Lounge, overlook the course. All the necessary amenities are available. The golf course features lush fairways, spacious greens, and hazards that provide a challenge for all golfers. Claggett Creek comes into play on holes 1, 9, 10, and 18. The challenge and beauty of the course has also been augmented with several small lakes with fountains.

Good course in Salem area
Good course, in good condition, the majority of the course is pretty straight forward. On the shorter par 4's the fairways are tight, on the longer holes the fairways open up. Greens roll well, are not too challenging, with the exception of a few holes where you don't want to be above the pin. Maintenance does a good job, only issue I saw was the fringe was a little hairy, you could actually have a bad lie in the fringe. The 18th hole is a great closing hole, unless you can hit a nice draw, leave the driver in the bag on 18, large hazard from about 80 out to the green, will force a layup shot. Also 18 has a very large green, pay attention to the flag, you do not want a long downhill putt on this hole! Also there is no driving range, just a net that you can hit some balls into to warm up, nice chipping and putting green though. The patio at the 19th has a great view of 18 green, nice place to relax after your round.
Beautiful old-school course
Had a great round due to immaculate fairways, tough but true greens and no backup.
